Juice up your style with orange leather spring fashions

Actress Charlize Theron puts an edge on her orange in Christian Dior leather.

Over the past year celebrities and designers have been juicing things up with trendy orange.

So since orange is one of my favorite hues I thought I'd share some of my top picks in styles that can separate you from others in the bunch.

What's really eye-grabbing is orange leather - that shows just how far we've come with this trend when you're seeing leather dresses and skirts made completely in this color.

Orange gives leather a fresh, new look. Charlize Theron made this point in her orange leather Christian Dior - it's something unexpected and makes leather an appropriate choice for the cooler days of spring.

If you like your orange with an edge like Charlize, take a look at the Raoul Pumpkin Leather Miniskirt, $510, www.stylebop.com. You can shake things up by pairing it with a fem sheer beige blouse.

Another look to check out is the Jessica Simpson faux leather Jessica Simpson Fontana Satchel, $69.95.

If you can go much, much higher on price, my best pick for an orange bag is the menswear-inspired Bottega Venata "Cervo" Fire Orange Leather Woven Satchel, $3,400. It's made to resemble a men's briefcase.

There's a stylish ballet flat from Jersey girl Rachel Zoe, $235, available at www.jildorshoes.com. Orange snakeskin and the gold-tone detail make this flat dressy enough to wear to work or out later.
